In two separate shootings in the Eastern Cape, four individuals have been killed, with police investigating the incidents but the identities of the suspects remaining unknown. The first shooting occurred on Friday, September 18, in Kwazakhele, Gqeberha, where a 47-year-old man was shot while traveling in a vehicle with his wife and eight-year-old child.
The man, suffering fatal injuries, was found dead at the scene, while his wife, who sustained serious injuries, passed away later at Livingstone Hospital. The child was unharmed. Police have not established a motive and are still seeking the responsible party. The second incident took place on Saturday, September 19, in Salamntu Street, Nqantosi, when a community member reported hearing gunshots around 1 am.
Upon arrival, police found the bodies of a 29-year-old man and a woman, both shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. Police have yet to identify the motive or suspects in either case, and investigations are ongoing. The names of the deceased will be released once they are formally identified.
